The Michigan man charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting one of the “teens” he caught breaking into his garage has been bound over for trial
This is INSANE... his property had been broken into twice before this incident, and police IGNORED HIM AND TOLD HIM TO GET BETTER SECURITY
Now Judge Kelly Kostin said Dayton Knapton, 24, put himself in the situation despite prior break-ins at his property
She said his self-defense argument “becomes more difficult” after reviewing security video
Knapton is charged with manslaughter, assault with intent to murder, and weapons offenses after a shooting that killed a 17-year-old and injured another
Police say he saw several people entering his garage on camera, went outside, and opened fire as they were leaving
The garage had been broken into at least twice before, and Knapton had been told after the second break-in to “beef up” his security
